2023 is a big year for Liverpool John Moores University. Not only is it our bicentenary marking 200 years since the institution was founded and became the LJMU as we know it today, there’s also so much going on across the city over the coming months.
Working on exciting projects
Whether you are a final year undergraduate or postgraduate student, there is a wealth of careers and employability support available to you both in the run up to graduation and beyond.
Elaine Smith-Freeman is the Manager of Counselling and Mental Wellbeing at LJMU.
Thirteen second-year Drama students from Liverpool Screen School have, in collaboration with History academics and students from the School of Humanities and Social Science, produced an original show to be performed during anniversary events across the city in May.
As part of LJMU's School of Law ethos to provide students with career-shaping opportunities, students recently participated in a mock employment tribunal at Liverpool Town Hall. The event allowed students to experience the inner workings of an Employment Tribunal and observe the skills and knowledge needed as they progress towards their careers in the legal sector. The students were able to experience a simulated trial thanks to the teams at Brabners, 9 St John Street Chambers and Adaptable Recruitment.
'Usually we only learn from a European perspective'
The next assessment period for LJMU students will take place from Monday 6 January to Friday 17 January 2025 (inclusive).
This is an opportunity for LJMU/JMSU Managers, Programme Leaders and Personal Tutors (those directly responsible for staff/students) to participate in a half day (three hour) virtual, Lets Talk About Disability Workshop in order to gain tips for supporting staff/students with disabilities & long-term health conditions including mental health.
All grant funded projects and knowledge exchange projects must be recorded on the GaP system from April 2020
